Relation of the Spades Section to Cut IS Near Weisburg. 



In all parts of the Tanner's Creek section there is a general dip of 

 five feet to the mile, and we may assume that this dip holds over the 

 five miles from Weisburg to Spades. This places the base of the White- 

 water, which is exposed in the cut 18 just north of the station at Weis- 

 burg, seventy-five feet below the railway grade at Spades. In the Rich- 

 mond section of the Whitewater, where the whole of the formation is 

 exposed, a similar thickness is found, leading us to conclude that the 

 outcrop one mile west of Spades represents the upper strata of the 

 Whitewater. The position of the latter outcrop in reference to the 

 Whitewater in the Ripley County locality is shown on the accompanying 

 chart. The lines of dip have been extended to Batesville, five and one- 

 half miles northwest of Spades, where there is sixty feet of Whitewater, 

 portions of which are exposed in the stream gullies a few miles south of 

 Batesville.
